Team Sportstar

Welcome to Sportstar’s live coverage from Day 2 of the first Test between England and India taking place at Headingley, Leeds on Saturday.
Centuries from skipper Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal have put India on track for a formidable first innings total. Rishabh Pant too remains unbeaten after a half-century.
England’s bowlers have struggled to keep the runs down on a pitch conducive for batting and will need a flurry of wickets on the second day of play to make a comeback into the game.

If you are looking for a soft landing in your maiden Test series as captain, England might not be the ideal place. However, on the opening day of India’s first Test at Headingley here on Friday, Shubman Gill & Co. eased into a comfortable position, reaching 359 for three at stumps, with the skipper (127 batting, 175b, 16x4, 1x6) and his deputy Rishabh Pant (65 batting, 102b, 6x4, 2x6) keeping vigil.
A lost toss, a duck for debutant B. Sai Sudharsan and packed stands egging the home side on notwithstanding, the Indian top-order feasted on a true batting wicket, the kind of which Ben Stokes’ men wanted in the lead-up and something that still keeps them in the contest.
Gill was typically resplendent, scoring his sixth ton and the first outside the sub-continent. But the foundation was laid by Yashasvi Jaiswal (101, 159b, 16x4, 1x6) and the Mumbaikar’s 91-run first-wicket association with the classy K.L. Rahul (42, 78b, 8x4).
The English new-ball attack was blunted to perfection on a hot morning before the Indian batters spread their wings under relatively cooler afternoon and early evening conditions to dominate proceedings.
